Now check your balances and prepare to trade your freshly minted BFXcoins. It looks like we gonna need a BFXcoin wall observer thread too now -or maybe not, if they drop to zero and stay there as I would expect. |

I changed my mind. Got this sweet deal in the wings that can double our money in a week. No time to explain, you in? |

However, under Hong Kong law, Bitfinex will not be able to force creditors to accept its proposal. Unlike in the US and Japan, Hong Kong does not have a system of bankruptcy protection to facilitate a Bitfinex reorganization. By arguing that Bitfinex is insolvent, creditor lawsuits could force Bitfinex into liquidation where creditors can take control. and of course no one has to accept it, i dont believe going to court would yield a better result or less of a haircut to BFX's users, but wtf do i know. i would imagine the bigger players from BFX are talking to their lawyers now, it wont be long until we know for sure if they will take the settlement or go to court. The crowd will demand confidence or retaliation... I don't see any other outcome! ... And maybe the other exchanges would participate in a small percentage on the bail-out. The path to confidence is the best option .. but will the odds be in favor of confidence??   |

I don't see a single valid point in anyone arguing against BFX enabling withdrawals of 60% of user funds |

BFX tokens != BFX shares, just an IOU. In the future (soon™) some users (non US?) might even be able to switch them for shares, thus setting up a secondary market for BFXtoken trading. But everyone should get distribution of BFX profits (if they'll ever occur) according to the amount of owned BFXtokens. Or at least how I read this. |

She's still growing up to almost BTC92k. Thought they lost ~60% of BTC ? Looks like they're already rebuying BTC with other assets somehow/somewhere? |

I would value bitfinex the company anywhere from 198,000BTC ($117,728,820) up to 1,190,000BTC ($707,562,100)
so IMO a fair deal would be that all these BFX tokens put together represents shares equal to 10-60% of bitfinex inc.
very rough numbers.

Hacked BTC exchanged with negative equity and legal liabilities up to their necks is worth 7.5% of ALL btc created so far? Lately you've changed |

Lately you've changed LMAO! yup. but... assuming the deal sticks then they are 100% solvent again, and this time probably will actually have some serious security on there cold wallet. so what is it worth somthing that nets profits to the tune of ~2000BTC / month worth? hmmm. i'm going to revise my numbers to 30million up to 200million.  |

Is the name of the new token BFX Omni? There's a reddit thread discussing the new setup and one post calls the tokens BFX Omni. I can't find anything else about them yet, but I only skimmed through most of the Bitfinex announcements and could have missed details about the tokens. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4wnfj6/bitfinex_is_back_up_functionality_disabled/ |

not to long ago, at bitfinex's Hong Kong office.... sure thing Ted! Security of user information and funds is our first priority.
Every detail is analyzed to avoid security holes. We pride ourselves on being the most secure Bitcoin exchange. Good, from now on, we know that losing roughly around 120K bitcoins it's something to be proud of. Not even dignity is available anymore. That security page is quite disgusting. The only security will come from the complete closure of the exchange |
